Summary

**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains topics including sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised.** Una Ring was stalked by a former coworker. Her stalker lured her to his new workplace, where he locked her in a conference room and pinned her arms down, trying to kiss her multiple times. The next day he began texting her and when she didn't reply he told her was going to stop by her house. After she reported him to the Gardai (Irish Police) her car tires and house were spray painted before he was caught on her surveillance camera with a crowbar, rope, duct tape, a lock picking device and a condom-covered dildo strapped to his body.
